Southern Ngaliya Dance Camp

Southern Ngaliya (SNDC) is a collaboration between the Senior Warlpiri Women, Incite Arts and community stakeholders and is funded by GMAAAC. Based on trust relationships and responsiveness to direction from the senior women, the program builds a platform to collectively focus on achieving stronger links with traditional song and dance; creating new generations fluent in the ceremonial and cultural knowledge of their parents/grandparents; and strengthening Warlpiri culture.

Xpress II launch night
-
More content to come from Xpress II the Incite Arts and Global Sound School collaboration.

Xpress is grassroots and community-driven.

Xpress offers wrap-around, individualised support, creative opportunities, and paid roles to foster confidence, cultural expression, and career pathways in music.

Xpress does not seek to replicate existing programs but to complement and enhance them, filling critical gaps.

Xpress elevates First Nations voices, strengthen local creative leadership, and builds a more inclusive regional music ecosystem.
​
We are excited to share insights and information about our program, our vision, core principles, team, mentors, events, and opportunities for these emerging artists - more to come soon!

Ross Park Primary School Mural Project
-
In the final semester before the summer holiday season, Incite Arts facilitated a creative collaboration between Ross Park Primary School and fantastic artist Tamara Cornthwaite, to create a beautiful, vividly colourful, multilayered mural for the school yard.
The students from various years all had input into the content and look of the mural, with artist Tamara producing gorgeous digital animation renderings of how the layers of brush work and stencilling would build texture and accumulate into the final intricate, powerfully vibrant artwork.
Tamara worked in sessions with each class over the course of weeks, adding ideas on content from the students and guiding them to hand draw, paint, stencil, spray etc, using multiple different techniques to apply the various ‘moments’ across the wall.
The mural is a great success, something that students and teachers alike enjoy… and truely a piece of artwork that you see something new and different in on each viewing
